[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 385195, member: 13702"] Sound deadening, emergency flotation (decking, swivel seats, TM and batteries adds a lot of weight), replacing foam removed from other areas I used it mainly as support for thin decking materials to save on weight, but it did wonders to stiffen the hull (I used expanding urethane foam) and to deaden the sound of my 3 yr old playing around on the boat. There are plenty of miss guided people even on here that think it somehow magically adds buoyancy somehow by virtue of being in the boat - it doesn't - it adds weight and takes away from the buoyancy ever so slightly...but that's ok, someone had to vote for Obama...
